Last Atonement is the highly anticipated seventh book in the Gideon Johann Western series. It joins #1 bestseller novels on Amazon.com in Westerns, Last Stand, Last Chance, Last Hope, Last Ride, Last Breath, & Last Journey.

Sheriff Gideon Johann finds himself dealing with two murders in the town of Last Stand, Colorado. One of them will take him on a journey back to the place where his life went astray many years ago. The other will leave his son-in-law, Zack Barlow, matching wits with the saloonkeeper Cyrus Capello. Zack feels overwhelmed as he tries to keep a witness alive to testify at trial while butting heads with the evil saloon owner. Will Zack make Gideon proud of his son-in-law's efforts to keep Cyrus from running roughshod over the town? Gideon is once again forced to confront his past as he seeks out the family of the boy that he killed during the war. Will Gideon bring peace to a family that lost a child years ago and find forgiveness for himself or will he confront vengeance as he seeks atonement for his past deed?

Duane Boehm has written another western novel with enough humor, heartbreak, love, and outlaws to keep you turning the page.

Last Atonement can be read as a stand-alone novel, but will provide a richer reading experience if the Gideon Johann Western Series is read in order.
